Changa Safari Camp is situated on a private concession in the famed Matusadona National Park on the shores of Lake Kariba. With its own 4.5 km of lake shore, your dream of the total raw African experience can be realised from tastefully furnished, fan cooled, spacious deluxe East African-style tented suites, each with their own private deck and stunning views of the rugged Matusadona Mountains across the inland sea of Lake Kariba.
The camp consists of 6 double/twin deluxe tents and 2 family deluxe tents and can sleep up to 20.
The central guest area consists of a lounge/library, separate dining room, separate bar, infinity swimming pool and spacious deck, all beautifully appointed around a natural, sandy beach.
Early morning tea/coffee is delivered to your tent at your appointed time, breakfast is served al fresco, and lunches and dinners are served around private tables or a large table for groups.
Electricity in the camp is delivered by a combination of generator and solar power. Internet service is available and there is limited mobile phone coverage. There is a daily laundry service.
Activities and excursions at Changa Safari Camp are focused on a true wilderness and wildlife experience. The National Park is a 'walker's paradise', and an early morning or late afternoon walk in the company of one of the camp's professional guides is an experience to savour. Explore the shoreline and the many tributaries and streams that feed the lake by boat, or, for the more adventurous, follow well-worn elephant trails into the mountain region. Alternatively, opt for the more traditional game drive aboard customised game vehicles, visit the incredible landscape of the Sanyati Gorge or try your hand at landing Kariba's famous fighting tiger fish with an experienced fishing guide.
At the end of the day enjoy a refreshing 'sundowner' boat cruise whilst you marvel at the unequalled beauty of a famous Lake Kariba sunset.
Feel like a little pampering after a hard day’s adventuring? The camp has a dedicated Spa set into lovely mopane woodland overlooking the lakeshore. An expert therapist is on hand for two weeks every month, to offer a range of treatments, including massages, facials, pedicures and manicures. If you're lucky enough to be in camp at the right time, this is a wonderful way to relax. If you want to make sure of availability, be sure to ask about the spa when you book.
